HOW TO IDENTIFY ISRAELI PRODUCTS Most products have a bar code to identify them. A bar code starting with "729" indicates that a product is made in Israel. Sometimes brands are misleading, a bar code never lies !!! Products packaged outside Israel or produced by multinationals and companies supporting Israeli Apartheid may have other barcodes.

In Defense of Divestment: Unpacking the Israeli Lobby's Arguments A must read article that debunks all the Israel lobby's arguments against divestment in one spot |
| August 19, 2007 By Jason Kunin Often, countries deemed acceptable for criticism by supporters of Israel are already subject to political and diplomatic sanctions by the U.S. and its tool, the UN Security Council – sometimes for acting in ways identical to Israel. So, for example, Syria, like Israel, engages in targeted assassinations (in Lebanon), and Iran, like Israel, possesses an openly discriminatory state structure that has institutionalized the supremacy of a single religious group. Yet while Syria came under sanctions in 2003 (when the U.S. passed the "Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act”) and Iran has been subject to U.S. trade and investment sanctions since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Israel has faced no political repercussions for the same actions. Where there is already action at the political level, there is no need for the building of a grassroots movement to instigate political change, so as atrocious as the human rights records of countries like Iran and Syria may be, targeting them for a campaign of boycott would be redundant.

(Read full text of CUPE Resolution.) CUPE BC is governed on the question of Israel/Palestine by two resolutions passed at its own annual conventions. (CPNO comment: This is long but well worth reading and saving as it thoroughly debunks the myths espoused by the pro-Israel lobby.) On 31 May 2006, B'nai Brith issued a statement denouncing the decision by CUPE-Ontario to support the global campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israeli apartheid. The Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) has prepared this response to the myths and allegations raised by B'nai Brith. We welcome your comments at endapartheid@riseup.net.
